Hello people. I am writing this blog after a long time since I was in my last month of pregnancy. I am now a mother of a little princess. Like any other new mother, I am also been flooded with countless tips for taking care of myself and my baby. Ladies who have undergone pregnancy can easily understand all this. Among all tips given by my husband, doctor, my mother and friends 7 relatives, the one that I really want to share with you all is the intake of Probiotic supplements.

Being of modern world, one would first ask the benefits and side effects of Probiotics and the come to any conclusion. So let me tell you some of the gut health benefits from intake of Probiotic supplements.

Probiotics are microorganisms that are said to endow with gut health benefits. In 1907 Eli Metchnikoff said that “the dependence of the intestinal microbes on the food makes it possible to adopt measures to modify the flora in our bodies and to replace the harmful microbes by useful microbes”

Benefits of probiotics include the following:

decrease of pathogenic gastro-intestinal microorganisms

reduction of gastro-intestinal problems

intensification of the immune system

improvement of skin’s function

improvement of bowel regularity

decrease in body pathogens

protection of DNA

and many more.

It would be surprising for you all to know that the expansion of the potential market for probiotics has led to higher requirements for scientific substantiation of beneficial effects by the microorganisms.

I know the above benefits are crammed with lots of technical words, but in simple language Probiotics are generally considered safe.

But since I am myself now a responsibly lady of a baby, you can bet me on this. Coming out of the world of technical jargons, have you seen the advertisement of the lovely mother of 2 children Mrs. Kajol Ajay Devgan who is the brand ambassador of Global probiotic leader, Yakult Danone India (P) Ltd. Speaking about Yakult, Kajol says, “Today’s lifestyle demands a lot out of people; hence Yakult can go a long way in providing the needed protection. Being a mother and a wife, for me my family comes first; making me conscious of their healthcare needs. I would recommend that all of us include Yakult in our daily diet.”
